It is 2 am. I think there is a song that starts that way. I am here reading the mess that has been made in public over the list. This started with one clueless person and was perpetuated by 20 more. Thus, the new rules: 1) This list is for the purpose of discussing firewalls, and related security topics. 2) Code for cracking programs (programs designed to help break into another system) should not be posted to the Firewalls mailing list. 3) The postmaster team will be the final arbiter's of what is and is not on-topic. Posting off-topic messages is grounds for immediate removal from the list. 4) If removed from the list once on these grounds, you are welcome to rejoin, as long as you agree to follow the rules. If removed twice, we will bar you from rejoining. 5) You can subscribe a local redistribution list or a gateway to a local newsgroup, as long as whatever you do is local to your site. This restriction makes it much easier for the postmaster team to track down mailer problems. 6) If your email bounces, we will unsubscribe you. Same thing goes for vacation messages that actually respond to the list. You can rejoin latter and read the archives for the missing messages. 7) Discussions about list policy are off-topic on the list, and subject to removal from the list. Email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have questions or comments about these policies. I may refine these further, and I will update the web site and the responder messages. If I get any response to this message on the list, I will unsubscibe you automatically. Sorry for being draconian, but them's the breaks., it could be worse. Firewalls Postmaster Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
